Kwik-Fit Fleet is expanding its range of services with the New Year launch of Vehicle Health Checks to help companies comply with duty of care legislation.

A £20 Vehicle Health Check pilot has been running with two fleet customers and the new service will be launched to both outright purchase fleets and contract hire and leasing companies from January 2010.

They will be carried out on company cars and vans in customers’ car parks and will initially be carried out by Kwik-Fit Fleet’s existing 15-strong team of tyre auditors, who carry out the Tyre Safety Checks.

However, if demand takes off during 2010 a dedicated Vehicle Health Check team will be established.
